Can you have multiline strings in JSON?

JSON does not natively support multiline strings, but there are workarounds. The most common approach is using escape characters (\n) or arrays for better readability.

Example using \n:

{

"message": "This is a long string.\nIt spans multiple lines."

}

Alternatively, storing each line as an array element improves formatting:

{

"message": [

"This is a long string.",

"It spans multiple lines."

]

}

Key takeaways:

• JSON does not support native multiline strings.

• Use \n escape sequences or arrays for formatting.

• JSON should remain readable for better debugging.
